ICE-dREAM MOLD.

Application filed March 9, 1904. $erial No. 197,381.

T0 or whom it may concern} Be it known that we,WILLIAM WALKER CAs- SELL and HENRY N. NoRRIs, citizens of the United States, residingat Vincennes, in the county of Knox and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ice-Cream Molds; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art-to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to improvements in molds, and more particularly to such devices which are used for molding ice-cream or the like into fancy shapes or figures and for molding an ornamental center of one kind or color of ice-cream in a brick or block of another kind or color.

The object of our invention is to provide a simple and eificient mold of this character which is composed of detachable sections, so that by taking the mold apart the molded object or center can be readily removed withoutinjury to the same.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certainv novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figurel is a perspective view of a mold embodying our invention, the same being adapted for moldinga figure in the form of a spade or a center of such shape in a brick or block. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view through the same. Figs. 3, t, and 5 are perspective views of the three side sections of the mold shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Figs. 6 and 7 are respectively a side elevation and a transverse section of a mold for forming an object or center in the shape of a heart. Figs. 8 and 9 are similar views of a mold for forming an object or center in the shape of a club. Figs. 10 and 11 are similar views of a mold for forming an object or center in the shape of aMaltese cross, and Figs. 12 and 13 are similar views of a mold for forming an object or center in the shape of a diamond.

In carrying out our invention We provide a plurality of detachable side sections 1 and unite them by end sections 2.

The mold shown in Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive, of the drawings, is adapted to form an object or center in the form or shape of a spade and, i as here shown, consists of three longitudinal or side sections 3, 4, and 5, which have an interlocking connection with each other and are held interlocked by the two end sections,

.which are in the form of rectangular caps 6.

Any form of telescoping or interlocking connection may be provided for the side moldsections 1 but we preferably provide atongueand-groove connection 7, which is illustrated in the drawings. This connection consists in folding or bending one or both of the side edges of one or more of the mold-sections 1 to form grooves 8, which are adapted to receive tongues 9, formed by the edges of. the adjacent mold section or sections 1. While the end mold sections or caps 6 may be of any desired construction,we preferably form them with flanges 10, which are adapted to engage the end'sof the side mold-sections 1 to hold them in engagement with each other. While we have shown the mold in Fig. 1 as composed of three side sections, it will be understood that a greater or less number of such sections may be employed.

In Figs. 6 to 13, inclusive,- of the drawings we have shown a series of molds for forming Patented Sept. 19, 1905.

object or centers of different shapes, and it will be noticed that each of these molds consists of two or more of the side mold-sections 1- and two end sections or caps 2. The side section 1 may have the tongue-andgroove connection (shown at 7 or an overlapping connection, (shown at 11.) I The construction, use, and advantages of our invention will be readily understood from the foregoing descriptiomtaken in connection with the accompanying-drawings. It will be seen that by means of a mold constructed in this manner of detachable sections the molded object may be readily removed by simply removing the end sections or caps from the ends of the side sections of the mold in order to permit them to be separated from each other. This construction also permits a center for a brick of ice-cream to be frozen in one piece independent of the brick.

While we have shown and described the preferred embodiment of our invention. it will be understood that we do not wish to be limited to the precise construction herein set forth, since various changes in the-form, proportion, and the minor details of construction to close the ends of the mold and having flanges to receive and overlap the end por- 5 tions of the side sections and lock the latter together.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
